Course overview
Emergencies can happen any time in the oil and gas industry. On any given day, there could be a situation that arises at work where a coworker is injured and needs immediate medical help. When this happens, it is essential that employees know how to respond appropriately, render aid, and obtain higher levels of care. This course will teach employees the basics of first aid procedures and how to apply them to real-world scenarios. Employees will learn their legal responsibilities as a first aid provider, how to identify different types of medical emergencies and the proper steps to take, and how to react in specific environmental conditions like extreme heat and cold. This awareness-level course is intended for oil and gas employees who, during the course of their usual work routine, may be required to provide basic medical aid to co-workers or others. While this course addresses OSHA training requirements, there may be a site-specific training component required that must be fulfilled by an employer. This course is presented in English and Spanish.
